Trying to order with 3 site seems fine but won’t leave me complete my order

Creamy Goodness

ordered at 13:04 and date slipped to the 19th.

14 Pro Deep Purple 256gb and 14 Pro Space Black 512gb and AirPods Pro 2nd gen. Hoping the date comes forward a bit.

BobbyT28

14pro max/128GB/Black

ordered the minute the app/site was available and still got a delivery date of 27/09-04/10!! Bit disappointing, thought I would have got it closer to the 16/09

hopefully the dates change for the better closer to shipment

JoeA3

Yeah, ordered at about 13:10 - 14 Pro 128GB black - and the delivery date is currently Sept 26th - Oct 3rd.

For me, the site didn't go live until about 5 past the hour and then it was very slow getting through the checkout.

Ordered at 13:03. 14pro max/128GB/silver. Ordered on the Apple store app as I had it saved so it went quick

Delivery on the 16th, ordered the leather Apple case too.

I dunno what’s up with the three site I get to the confirm order page and the confirm button doesn’t work

cnocbui

No.

tomister

Ordered as soon as pre orders went live (which was a lil after 1pm) and have delivery for the 16th. Currently it’s down as preparing to ship so it looks like it’ll ship during the week. Went with a 14 Pro 256GB in Space Black

Eire Go Brach

I could not get on. Was using the Apple store on iPhone. Kept refreshing. Finally got on at 1:10 ordered the 14pro /128GB/Black with Apple Pay. Still for the 16th. Happy with that.

Craigels

Can’t decide on a pro max colour. Silver or purple I’m considering

Tried a few times yesterday to pre-order a 256GB Pro Max through Vodafone, but their website was erratic at best. Eventually got the order through, got my order number but never received a confirmation e-mail. Contacted Vodafone, they tell me the order is still open & not completed and that I need to order again. Money is gone from my account, and my Vodafone bill is now in credit to the amount of the handset. The website now says that the 128GB & 256GB Pro Max in black are unavailable online.

That's going to be a fun phone call on Monday 😂

I generally upgrade every 2 years and every year there is an issue with that piece of sh*t website they (Vodafone) have! Looks like I’ll be going for the 512GB version. Will be selling my 12 Pro Max 256GB graphite version.

Tried yesterday refreshing like mad, got on 13:04 ordered but dates already slipped to the 19th, preparing to ship.

Has anyone's money been taken by apple?

All I got was an Apple authorization on Revolut. Nothing else, brother-in-law is the same

I don't think they charge your card until its dispatched.

martin_g

Yes mine was taken yesterday using Revolut

BobbyT28

@JoeA3 Not sure that’s true, the last time I ordered on Revolut (2 years ago for 12Pro max) they took the moment within n 3hrs.

anyone else order from Revolut and not have the money taken?

martin_g

They took my payment from Revolut after 15 mins

BobbyT28

@martin_g I got a verification from Revolut that didn’t need me to do anything, I can see that it is also successful verified by the merchant (Apple) just surprised it hasn’t been taken!!

DubLad69

Ordered yesterday from Vodafone website. Got it delivered to work. Then I get an email from Vodafone today cancelling my order because it doesn't meet their online order criteria. Telling me to order instore. Now the version I wanted is sold out with them!

martin_g

@BobbyT28 It may just be a case of waiting on stock, or I have seen a case where it shipped before they took the funds but that’s unusual, just really depends on Apple. Once you have ur order confirmation ur good.

For what it's worth I ordered using my BOI card Friday afternoon and the funds haven't been taken. Have the order confirmation email too.

Are the Apple store delivery estimates usually accurate? Mine delivery estimate is the second week of October, wondering if I can actually expect it to get it then.

martin_g

Apples delivery estimates are usually bang on, may vary by a day or two, if they get more stock it may advance but doubtful that’ll happen.

Same as that. Tried 3 times. Took my money twice but got an email this morning saying the same and will be refunded within 10 days. I had put in my work address. Did many on here successfully preorder with vodafone/hear anything else from them apart from confirmation email? Can't try again until they refund me as need the remaining balance to make sure any direct debits/standing orders go through in the meantime! I did ring a store and they had no knowledge of the iphone 14 and no instructions on how to preorder it.

I done the same thing. I tried getting it delivered to work. I was thinking that might have been the issue to prevent fraud.

I placed the order again (I ended up having to get a larger memory than I need) so I'd say I will know by tomorrow if they cancel again.

I just wish they would have called to sort out the issue rather than just cancelling

Did you try home or work this time? Let me know how you get on, I'll just try and get it in store at some stage if it keeps doing the same thing. I think the error emails go out at 8am (not sure if it'll happen on a sunday) - I had accidentally ordered a 13 Pro on Wednesday and got the error email thursday morning 8am (luckily) then same thing this morning at 8.05am (saturday) after ordering the 14 Pro yesterday.

Paddy@CIRL

On a different Vodafone debacle from above; re-ordered again this morning to a home address and it seems to have went through without difficulty. Confirmation e-mail received, was able to pre-order the model I wanted (256GB Black Pro Max which wasn't available yesterday) and paid with the balance on my bill (which was in credit from the original cancelled order)

To be fair, the Vodafone customer care people on Twitter were excellent to deal with. Which is great, because their website is bloody awful 😂

I tried home this time. I don't feel too hopeful though, i tried a few times and when I got to the end was told that it is out of stock.

It was switching between in stock and out of stock on their website. I feel like it is going to be cancelled again because it is out of stock and I'm not willing to pay for the extra storage of the 500gb.

DubLad69

Cancelled again this morning. I think it might still be better value to buy the 500gb from Vodafone than the 128gb from iconnect

DubLad69

Is there anywhere you can see the colours of the phones in person

I’m the 19th as well but it will be here on the 16th. You might be in a similar location to me. I checked the delivery estimate for Dublin after my order was placed and it said the 16th - so we are in the launch day group. They always overestimate my location by 1 day but it is always delivered on the Friday. Should be updated to reflect this when it actually ships Thursday night.

martin_g

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119603364#Comment_119603364

Yeah hopefully it would be grand, hopefully they wont ship direct from China!

FourFourRED

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119603370#Comment_119603370

Usually sent from East Midlands on the Thursday night for express delivery on the Friday. Fingers crossed anyway.

martin_g

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119603433#Comment_119603433

Yeah East Midlands by DHL and Castle Donington by UPS via Germany. The fun starts now, mine still says 19th though 😢

martin_g

Lads the reason why Vodafone probably rejected ur orders is the delivery address has to be the same as what’s on ur bank account otherwise it’s a straight no.

FourFourRED

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119603530#Comment_119603530

Yeah for me anyway it usually stays like that until DHL mark it as our for delivery on the Friday, then the Apple website changes to say today. Not worried yet anyway 😁

I’ve been trying to order through three o can go through the whole process but if I click confirm at the end the button does nothing

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119605165#Comment_119605165

Try a different browser maybe ?

ussjtrunks

Tried on my phone and pc same issue clicking confirm brings up 2 spinning balls and it doesn’t progress it’s really odd.

eeloe

I got my order in at 13:03 on Friday.

14 Pro Max - Gold - 256, have an estimated shipping date of the 19th, hopefully i get lucky and it's delivered Friday so i can spend the weekend setting it up and playing with it! :D

Half considering splashing out and getting the airpods too.

To be fair to my AirPods pro, i've used them ALL day, every day, since i got them on launch day in 2019, they owe me nothing.

First time I ordered from Vodafone, 14 pro 256gb Silver color. It was giving errors but eventually went through and order wasn’t cancelled. Currently says order is on back order. Does that mean they don’t have stock of it and won’t get it on launch time or is it just because it’s a pre-order?

Kagawa

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119596396#Comment_119596396

My order has changed to preparing for shipment.

baalad

I had a nightmare trying to preorder. Constant errors and in the end i had to just walk away from the computer. I came back to pre order 3 - 4 hours later and everything went smooth but the arrival date was now pushed back to mid October which sucks because ideally i want it before the 22nd because its a gift for someone.

When i contacted Apple they just said that they had not charged my card yet and that some retailers may have stock sooner so pretty much advised me to try buy it elsewhere while keeping my pre order them open for the time being. I reached out to Harvey Norman and while they did not seem to be 100% sure, they told me that stock will be available on the 16th and that if there was no availability left the site would be updated to reflect that so i went ahead and pre ordered with them , assuming they have stock this Friday.

Have my doubts but let's see.

martin_g

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119607703#Comment_119607703

If it’s back ordered they have no stock and awaiting stock, best of luck with that. You might get lucky and not have a long wait

eeloe

My case shipped yesteday, will be here tomorrow.

This happened a couple of years ago too if memory serves, the case arrived a few days before the phone itself.

Which reminds me, i better get on to amazon quick and get some screen protectors.

I bought the case last Thursday, been sitting on my desk since Friday taunting me.

Same here! Case and screen protectors are just looking at me, waiting for the phone to arrive. Have compared my 12Pro case with the 14Pro case and the camera bump is huge in comparison

Ya-Boy-Ya

Same here... case came from the States... been sitting here waiting lookin at empty case like a muppet 😆
